in which the weight type is not being specified. It appears that
ineqdeco's "natural" weight type is fw, so that if not specified, it
takes the weights as fws. This is not ineqdeco's fault; it is not being
passed the information as to weight type.

You might modify a copy of ginidesc, and/or contact the authors of
ginidesc and encourage that they release a corrected version of the
program.

Dear Prof. Baum,

I am using the stata command ginidesc. However, I get an error when
trying to set weights in the analysis. Specifically, what I write in
Stata is:

ginidesc hui [fw=iwt] , by(incgr) m(a1) gk(a2)

However, I get the following error:

may not use noninteger frequency weights
r(401);

I get the same error message even if I set analytical weights instead
of
frequency ones.
